On April 19 the Prelate of Opus Dei celebrated the Chrism Mass in the Prelatic Church of Our Lady of Peace, in Rome.

As in previous years, and in accord with provisions of the liturgical regulations, the Chrism Mass was advanced to Wednesday of Holy Week so that the priests taking part would be able to concelebrate the Chrism Mass with the Holy Father on the morning of Holy Thursday in St. Peter’s Basilica.
